Aluminum fences are making a major comeback!<\/p>\n\n

They combine aesthetics with practicality. They add a contemporary touch to a garden, whether installed on a low wall or directly on the ground<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

The design of the posts and the strength of the material offer significant benefits during installation and over the long term. <\/p>\n\n

However, installing fences around your garden or gate yourself is not always easy! The product you choose will determine the level of difficulty for your fence installation. <\/p>\n\n

So, how should you proceed?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Districlos explains.<\/p>\n\n

Setting the posts in concrete<\/h2>\n\n

The choice of technique depends on the specific project you wish to carry out.<\/p>\n\n

Setting posts in the ground with concrete is the ideal method for a fence with a height exceeding 1.30 m.<\/strong> To fix the fence easily, we recommend starting by marking the post locations on the ground. To verify the required distance between two posts, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions. It is important to note that this distance may vary depending on the fence slats. <\/p>\n\n

Next, dig holes in the ground and pour in concrete, then position each post in a hole. Finally, set the panels into a concrete block. <\/p>\n\n

During these steps, ensure that the posts and panels are stable by using a spirit level.<\/p>\n\n

Assembling the slats on the panels<\/h3>\n\n

Once you have set the posts and panels, it is time to assemble the slats. The complexity of this step varies depending on the range you have selected. Some items are sold in packs, ensuring a simple installation<\/strong>. In this case, you simply need to refer to the manufacturer’s assembly instructions.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

If you did not purchase a fence kit, do not panic! We will guide you through each step of mounting the slats onto your fences. <\/p>\n\n

Make sure to identify the starter slats (the ones you will install first at the top of the posts). Simply add one slat, then another, until you are satisfied with the final result. <\/p>\n\n

Openwork aluminum fence<\/h2>\n\n

To design an openwork aluminum fence, you can include a finishing slat to ensure an elegant final look. You simply need to screw the slats together to obtain an aluminum fence with solid panels using mounting brackets. Once a panel is finished, remember to fit the screw covers and post caps. These finishing touches are essential for a high-quality fence.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Ensure you follow these steps for all panels of the railing.<\/p>\n\n

Maintaining an aluminum fence<\/h2>\n\n

Your fence is now installed. The aluminum fence, serving as both a privacy screen and an aesthetic feature, has become a staple in the fencing industry. Aluminum, which is much less demanding than a wooden fence, remains a premium material with a contemporary style. <\/p>\n\n

Furthermore, aluminum is one of the easiest materials to maintain. Unlike a wooden fence, it is not necessary to spend significant time maintaining your fence. Once or twice a year, clean it to remove any impurities that may have settled on it<\/strong>. To avoid any damage to the aluminum panels, it is best to avoid using abrasive products or a high-pressure cleaner. <\/p>\n
